Join us in this episode as we hear the remarkable story of Tami Burdick, a patient advocate and author of the book Diagnosis Detective: Curing Granulomatous Mastitis. Tami takes us on her journey of being diagnosed with a rare and poorly understood chronic inflammatory breast disease. From the initial symptoms and diagnostic process to the challenging treatment and recovery, Tami shares her experiences with courage and resilience. We’ll explore how she became her own advocate, seeking answers and finding the cause of her condition through innovative testing. Tami’s advocacy work, media interviews, and speaking engagements have shed light on granulomatous mastitis and provided support for others affected by the disease. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation as Tami shares her insights, lessons learned, and the importance of being persistent in navigating the medical system. Tune in to discover the power of advocacy and the hope that comes from sharing one’s story.

Tami Burdick is a patient advocate and author of Diagnosis Detective: Curing Granulomatous Mastitis.

She discusses her KevinMD article, “From business trip to battling rare breast disease: my journey of survival, advocacy, and remission.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

Ambient intelligence augments human capabilities to make our lives easier. The applications are many, especially in health care. Ambient clinical intelligence is offsetting the most pressing challenges in health care today, such as burnout, physician shortages, physician and patient dissatisfaction, and underperforming financial outcomes, by applying the technology to clinical documentation. 

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, utilizes artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically document care. It securely listens to and captures the natural, clinician-patient encounter conversation unobtrusively, and turns that conversation into a clinical note for the clinician’s review and signature directly in the electronic health record. You just talk naturally, and DAX does the rest. 

DAX is being used by thousands of physicians across 30 different specialties nationwide. It has already won the Silver Stevie award in the health care technology category and was ranked #1 for improving clinician experience in KLAS’s top 20 emerging solutions.
